Hurd State Park
Activities:
Camping

Welcome to Connecticut's Hurd State Park located in East Hampton. This land was first puchased by the State of Connecticut in 1914 just a year after the State Park Commission was first established. Upon purchase the State did face some legal challenges from local mining companies who had interests in developing the lands feldspar resources. The courts ultimately sided with the State and the land was spared. Today the park is over 1,000 acres in size and was named for the Hurd Family who setted in the region in the early 18th Century.
For the lover of the outdoors Hurd State Park boasts campsites, multipurpose trails, and much more. Come on out and have fun.
